Trump Has Huge Lead Over Cruz in Two SC Polls
by Cathy Burke Donald Trump has a commanding lead in the GOP presidential primary field in South Carolina in two new polls – including one in which the real estate billionaire has more than double the support of his nearest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
The surveys,
the South Carolina House Republican Caucus, and the
Opinion Savvy Poll, come just eight days ahead of the Palmetto State's Feb. 20 primary.
Here's the breakdown in the South Carolina House Republican Caucus survey:
- Trump: 34.5 percent
- Cruz: 15.5 percent
- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush: 13 percent
- Florida Sen. Marco Rubio: 12.5 percent
- Ohio Gov. John Kasich: 8.5 percent
- Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson: 5 percent
- Undecided: 11 percent
Trump beats the competition among conservatives, moderates, libertarians, independent and across age groups – and even edges out Cruz with tea party Republicans, 37 percent to 36 percent.
The results were posted
by The Hill.
In the Opinion Savvy survey, the results show:

That’s what they said in IA, just before Ted Cruz won.

My definition of conservatism? A supermajority of the Freedom Caucus backing Paul Ryan as Speaker.

CanuckTed showed his “intelligence” is waaay overrated when he chose to align himself with Beck when he joined the loon to pass out teddy bears to ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS.
That CanuckTed continues his partnership with Beck demonstrates Einstein’s definition of insane stupidity.

Part of Cruz’ problem is his authenticity. He tries to say all the right things, but seems staged. He wants to be a tough guy, but comes off as part Grandpa Munster and part Peewee Herman.

In his short career as an elected politician, he has done nothing but piss off everyone he comes in contact with in the course of executing his sworn office.
Trump is right. People don’t like Ted once they get to know him. He’s an self-righteous asshole.
Now, FTR, I liked Ted early on. I loved what he was doing in the Senate. Once he got on the trail though, his true colors started coming out and now I would not vote for him. If he wins the nomination, I’m staying home.

Cruz has a Huge problem. The independents see him as a rabid religious right winger. The Democrats think much worse! Wait until the whole group finds out he’s also a Canadian.
To: CASchack
Once you decide he’s a hypocritical political hack, it makes more sense.
It’s all an act. Remember that youtube of them making the heartfelt ad? Pay no attention to the Ted behind the curtain.

Never trust a politician. Fear a politician who is on a mission from God.

In Iowa, Cruz got victory...but no triumph.
..... the Carson rumor-mongering, the demeaning vote fraud mailers, and now the porn star ad, the Rubio claims..... Cruz has made a number of unforced errors that are really costing him....
As one astute FReeper posted: It takes some effort to make winning in Iowa a liability, but Ted and his boys managed to make it happen.
In the last analysis, Cruz seems to be trying to prove something to himself.....maybe its a Canadian-latino/s lack of self-esteem. Who knows? But the presidency is definitely not the place to achieve your lack of human potential.

Please enumerate the Conservative principles such a caucus should espouse?

Not my job. The Freedom Caucus displayed their principles for the world to see when a supermajority of them backed Paul even-worse-than-Boehner Ryan.
